The government, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that food costs have gone down so people don't need to budget as much as before!?!
The thrifty plan, which did allow $12.31 \day for a family of two people our age, or $6.15\person \day, now allows $11.91\day or $5.95\person \day.
That is a drop of 40cents\day or 20 cents\person\day. It doesn't sound like much, but it does add up.
For the year, we will be working with $146 less. That might be make or break for some families.
Remember, for us, this covers groceries and meals out. But, I always like a good challenge.
Let the games begin.
